Since I been selling on Ebay, 8 years plus, this has been my camera to use. I had one where you had to use a USB port, after awhile the connection part on the camera broke. That camera was more expensive than this one is. This is the best way to do alot of ebay selling. You never have to hook up to the computer, you simply take your pictures, they are on a disk and you can download at your leisure. The camera has a feature where you can look at the picture, and delete it from the camera or keep it on the disk and delete it from the computer after you download them.
What I don't like about this camera, and No fault of the camera, is that if you drop this, and mess it up :) it will cost more to fix than the camera is worth. So at my house this is handled like a baby.
On this camera I have two batteries, one battery last only for 20 pictures and then the life of the battery is over, It's not the camera but the battery, but you need the battery for the camera to work. Do make sure you get a charger. The thing is the battery isn't easy to find. So if you buy this, attempt to make sure you have the charger and the battery. Cause the camera will last longer than the battery.
This camera has a format so that you can clean the disk for the next use. And so that you are able to reuse the disk and use them over and over, so you get your money's worth on the use of this camera. Camera using disk are harder to find. So this antique of a camera is still worth it.
I took this on a vacation to London and Use a disk for London one for Wales and so on and it was so easy to just save the disk of different places that way. weeks later after returning I could then download. If I had a memory card, they are more expensive to have. Disk are the cheapest form of holder for your pictures.Read full review

I’ve owned several cameras over the years. Although the megapixels are not very high there is one feature that can not be matched my any camera I’ve ever owned. The instant you press the shutter button it takes the picture. I’ve taken so many fantastic shots of the kids over the years using this camera because of that one feature. I also love the 10X true optical zoom. I can take great pictures from across the room. One more thing... the battery life is incredible. One charge lasts me pretty much all day.

This is the perfect camera if you need an easy way to take pictures. This takes a floppy disc and then just plug the disc into your CPU. You can easily put pictures on auctions or emails. The camera is easy to use. You can zoom in and out. The battery charges easily and quickly. The camera notifies you of low battery life so you can work faster or stop and charge. Having a floppy disc of your pictures means you can easily take them to work or whatever. I am not a computer savy person but this camera has inabled me to list good auctions. I borrowed a camera like this from work before I purchased my own. I find this camera to be computer friendly and easy to use.

It is reliable - had one for 7 years of constant service. It takes good photos with very small sizes: excellent compression algorithm: splendid for quick-loading web pages. Very simple to use. Fantastic for macro shots: has optical zoom, but it also has a very short minimum focal length: you can get right up against what you wish to shoot, and without using the zoom you can get resolutions down to 0.07mm, which is awesome for something not attached to a microscope!!! // On the downside, it's a bit ancient in digital technology, and most of them are getting a bit long in the tooth, with little quirks in battery usage and "disc errors" showing up every now and then, and it is not good for showing natural colors in the viewfinder, or for use in sunlight.

This camera is clearly not the state of the art and the floppy disc is not as convenient as it may have been when virtually all computers had floppy drives.
This camera has less than one megapixel of resolution but I still love it. The pictures that this camera takes look good in snapshot size.
Why do I love this thing? I think it is the ultimate internet camera. The pictures it takes have a small file size. This means no messing in Photoshop or some other program in order to e-mail or post pictures in forums.
I think the lack of floppy drives on modern computers has driven the price of these cameras down to the point of being a steal. USB floppy drives are readily available at good prices. With this camera it is minutes from snapping a picture to posting it and it is a no brainer!
Did I mention that I love this thing?
